Best Bistros in Alexandra Park

Loved my experience here and will definitely be back. I tried many dishes amongst our group and we had zero complaints on all of them! We had the eggs bene, steak and eggs, chicken and waffles, the crepes, and tots. My only concern is that I didn’t have more time because I wanted to try both the desserts (lemon meringue and carrot cake)! I wasn’t aware of a time limit but I think it was 90 mins so we had to leave as the next reso had arrived. Just more reason to return. Service was great and staff were very friendly.

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left everything was perfect. Our server Kenny was wonderful, he was informative and entertaining. All the dishes were fantastic. It’s a beautiful space. We had the Valentine Day fixed menu and it was the greatest steak I’ve ever had in my life.  I will absolutely be back to try more from the regular menu. Bravo Lapinou.

My daughter and I came here for Valentine’s Day to celebrate. The service was attentive and welcoming. The cheese potato bread is sooo good! The iceberg wedge salad was a big portion and very fresh and crunchy. The striploin steak was cooked to perfection. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and very juicy on the inside. The sides: squash was flavourful and the fries were crispy. Their dip pairings are on par, they made very good choices. The dessert - lemon meringue pie is the best I have ever had! It’s the right amount of sour. And the carrot cake was really good too (but I wish it didn’t have raisins). Overall experience - superb! It’s definitely a place where it has my repeat business.

My go to spot for dinner before a show. Easy to get to by car or TTC. No need to rush as the theater is across the street. The food is always good, the drinks are cold and the service is perfect. The best thing is dining while listening to live jazz. Last night we had a talented pianist. A great way to start a night on the town.

It was our first time going to Laissez Faire and our experience was amazing. We booked a reso for a birthday and everyone there made it so special. The staff were so welcoming and attentive, the food was fantastic, and the drinks were delicious. We will definitely be going back soon!
